Too expensive
This remote control is too expensive for what you get. We honestly just wanted a hand-held remote with a wall bracket to hold the remote when not in use. Monte Carlo doesn't offer that option. They charge extra for providing a remote wall trim to use in lieu of putting the remote into a hand held case. You can't even buy the wall bracket separately and this remote is an odd shape, so it won't fit into a standard bracket. When I called Monte Carlo, the customer service rep said that they used to make the wall bracket but discontinued it. I think this is the only company that sells a hand-held remote without a wall bracket.
I'm also not too thrilled with the design of the remote It's awkward to have the fan speeds in a circle; I would rather have separate buttons, one below the other, or at least have the OFF button separate.
Other than that, the installation was easy and the remote works well with the Monte Carlo fans we purchased.
